Some Disgruntled Old Men cover ALKALINE TRIO

On rare occasions, at full moon when the planets align just in the right way, the Internet Godz meet and decide to throw their loyal subject Alanso a gift. Tonight was one of these times. Aware of my liek for Alkaline Trio, cover versions of songs, old ppl having fun and cringey music videos, I was bequeath the following video...



This is one of my favourite songs from Crimson and despite all the negative comments on Ootube I think the sound quality is good for a live performance and overall this is a pretty good cover. However...

  • Dat headband
  • DEM MUSIC STANDS
  • Dat black nail polish
  • 1.26 DEM RING OUT CHORDS AND 'DAD AT A WEDDING' DANCE MOVES
Then there's still the matter of the bassist who looks like he is playing the gig on his break from driving trucks for a living. AND THE GUY BEHIND HIM, WTF IS GOING ON THERE?!!?

After watching the video about 5 times in a row my brain began to melt and it couldn't handle the awesomeness anymore. When I had recharged I searched for it again and found MORE COVER VIDEOS.
*warning: The next videos contains dangerously high amounts of lol


00:03 - Dat hair(line)!!!!
00:06 - Dat head shake
00:09 - *DEAD* DAT LOOK OF DEEP MEANINGFULNESS AND SMUGNESS DUE TO UNPLAYABLE INSTRUMENT

At this point my (10 seconds in) I had to restart but the 'weary, hurt and abused friend/lover' acting at 00:11 set me off again. It was all too much for me really. The guy looks slightly ill, he defo seems to be sweating.

AND IT KEEPS GOING....

I'm sure there's more gold to be found but I think my head would explode if I dig any further right now. For the moment I'm going to leave it here.It's pretty easy for people to hate on these guys, but if you look beyond the initial lols, they're either wizard trolls or DGAF dudes who are more punk than you.
